Tuck still on the outer; Kingy to come in ...King set for recallrichmondfc.com.au
By Adam McNicol 3:46 PM Wed 30 Mar, 2011FEISTY forward Jake King is almost certain to be recalled for Richmond's clash with St Kilda at the MCG on Friday night, but veteran midfielder Shane Tuck is likely to spend another week in the VFL.
King missed Richmond's opening round clash with Carlton as he was serving the one-match ban he received for striking in round 22 last year.
"Jake will be every chance," Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said on Wednesday. "He's a guy I like to have in the side.
"He brings everything we are about as a footy club. He's tough, he's resilient, he's competitive - all those sorts of things we look for in footy players."
Either Will Thursfield or Dylan Grimes will come into the team to replace fellow defender Alex Rance, who was given a three-match suspension for his high bump on Carlton's Jarrad Waite.
Many Richmond supporters were surprised to see Tuck left out of the team that lost to the Blues, and it appears he won't be recalled to play the Saints.
"He's in the squad," Hardwick said. "He's thereabouts. He had a reasonable game at Coburg last week. It's just whether we can fit him in.
"We've got Foley, Martin, Cotchin - those sorts of players. There's only a certain amount of midfielders that we can play in those sorts of positions.
"So Shane is a possibility, but whether he comes in or not, we'll have to wait and see."
